Overview
Project Patch exists to help struggling teens find hope, skills, and support to live abundant and successful lives.
We are a licensed and accredited therapeutic residential treatment program for boys and girls ages 12-17.
All major insurance, including Tricare and some Medicaid plans accepted.
Cherry Gulch is a ranch style therapeutic boarding school designed specifically for 10 to 14 year old boys. Some of our boys turn 15 while with us.
We are located on over 200 acres of beautiful land outside of Boise Idaho.
Our services are appropriate for boys with various difficulties including oppositional-defiance, ADHD, learning differences, low self-esteem, poor motivation, anger, family conflict, adoption, anxiety, depression and other behavioral and emotional problems.
Every experience is educational and therapeutic in a fun purposeful environment.
We strive to offer the most effective therapeutic strategies into daily life.
We offer at 10-15 hours of scheduled therapeutic services a week but much more therapy takes place as life unfolds as therapeutic moments arise.
